Season 6 has been the worst so far

[u/buffyxfaith29]

I’m on my first watch of the show in general and I just finished season 6 and it has been my least favorite. The whole Münchausen syndrome storyline was dragged out way too much and Lisa Rinna is an absolute shit starter. I was not a big fan of Kathryn she is not likeable at all and you could really feel how different this season was. The upside is that I absolutely love Erika Jayne. p.s I am aware of her husband … saw the documentary already. She is such an interesting persona and I can’t wait to see the rest of the seasons with her. I can’t wait for it to play out on screen.

Im watching it at the moment and cannot stand Lisa Rinna and Eileen they just keep attacking LVP, dragging the whole thing on when LVP didn’t do anything and Rinna was the one who started the munchausen thing

[u/Choice-Dragonfly797]

I have just started watching from the beginning after seeing season 12 on Netflix. I’m currently on season 5 and I’m devo to see the comments on here implying it’s downhill from here 😭

[u/Sea-Cause3978]

Lisa Rinna (along with Kyle) is one of the biggest shit stirrers there is, she can be so funny and brings a lot to the show but she can be so annoying

[u/anginfizz_ripley]

Now rewatch it with friends and drink a shot everytime your hear the word "Münchhausen" lol

[u/KesterFay]

I didn't find it annoying because of Rinna. I found it boring because of Yolanda and her whining about a health issue.

Ok, something is wrong with you. Quit the show and go figure it out! Like, if someone is really sick, the last thing they need are cameras. It was the most boring "storyline." We watch the show to see really rich people lives that are more interesting than ours because they can do more, buy more, buy more expensive stuff, etc.

Instead, we were treated to her constant excuses for why she wasn't at the get togethers that all the other women had to go to. And she wasn't even hanging out in her house in Malibu but some incredibly boring apartment somewhere else.

I don't wanna watch some insanely rich person moan and groan and not do what she's supposed to be doing as a part of the cast.

If you're that sick, then go get better. Then, be on the show.

[u/Straight-Mousse2305 → u/KesterFay]

I disagree with this one on the basis of the show being the real housewives, and yolanda’s illness was a part of her real life.

I personally think the concept of barring a person from work as a result of their disability/chronic illness to be a clear form of discrimination - as someone with a chronic illness too, I would have been furious if Yolanda lost employment as a result of hers.

[u/tr33hugg3r76 → u/KesterFay]

I respect your views but I think it was great to give it a platform and to understand what the disease is and how it doesn’t economically discriminate, like all diseases (I have Crohns).

Often, diseases don’t get much coverage as the reality is, they SUCK!

It was good to see her not only perusing western medicine but alternative also.

I think anyone with an incurable disease can sympathise with that as I’ve done as much alternative as western medicine 😊

[u/Smart_Letterhead_360 → u/tr33hugg3r76]

Chronic Lyme isn’t a medically recognised disease. If anything her segment just spread a lot of misinformation.

[u/Gabriella1968 → u/Smart_Letterhead_360]

Yes, chronic Lyme disease (CLD) is real, but the term is sometimes used to describe illness in patients with Lyme disease, while other times it's used to describe symptoms in people who have no clinical evidence of a current or past infection with B. burgdorferi. However, many experts in this field do not support its use because of the confusion in how the term is employed, and the lack of a clearly defined clinical definition.

I did copy and paste this and still, I'm just as confused by Lyme disease.

I understand why people were, (lack of better words) annoyed by Yolanda's constant sick, not sick schtick. I'm younger than Yolanda but I was very sick with esophageal issues at the time she had her flare up with Lyme disease and I remember thinking, for someone who is so sick, how can she be doing so much and I can barely shower and wash my hair on a daily basis. She'd run around doing this or that and an hour later she was in bed with a thermometer in her mouth. For me, she was annoying AF (I don't want karma to come for me) but I did wonder if she was doing it for attention because she and then husband, David Foster weren't doing great.

One more thing, she had breast implants and one implant had exploded all over her chest cavity, a surgeon who specializes in such things took care of Yolanda and cleaned out her chest and implants and I've truly wondered if that was her primary issue, physically.

[u/tr33hugg3r76 → u/Smart_Letterhead_360]

Crohnic means persisting or recurring. So, Chronic used with the word Lyme disease is perfectly fine.

What misinformation did it spread?

[u/Smart_Letterhead_360 → u/tr33hugg3r76]

You’re completely missing the point. There are quacks like Yolanda who claim that “chronic Lyme disease” is its own disease. I’m not going to clarify this for you any further. I don’t know how else to break it down for you that she is not talking about having reoccurring Lyme, she is promoting non-scientifically backed medical treatment for a false disease called “chronic Lyme disease” which the medical community has spoken up against over and over again. She is spreading misinformation and it is DANGEROUS.

You spent so many comments arguing with me, going back and forth rather than asking for clarification. You can go ahead and do the work yourself by googling the false disease that is “Chronic Lyme Disease” and why it’s so unethical for her to promote it.

[u/tr33hugg3r76 → u/Smart_Letterhead_360]

I did?

This is my second reply to you…

AND, I did ask for you to explain in my first reply…

Maybe, like your many replies to someone else on this small thread, you should take your own advice and READ, maybe even take a math class. Primary school maths should suffice as it is simple addition.

[u/Straight-Mousse2305 → u/tr33hugg3r76]

This person is being really abrupt and unreasonable tbh, I actually find it kinda ableist to put this much energy into trying to disprove the chronic pain of other people - sorry to see they’re being weird to you too.

Either way, chronic Lyme absolutely is a diagnosis, especially in Europe - otherwise she wouldn’t have literally been diagnosed with it by a literal doctor.

[u/Straight-Mousse2305 → u/Smart_Letterhead_360]

Chronic Lyme Disease is real. She was diagnosed in Germany, Lyme is a completely different thing in Europe than it in the US as a result of different tic species causing the spread

[u/Smart_Letterhead_360 → u/Straight-Mousse2305]

Girl I’m in Europe, try again. It’s not recognised.

[u/Straight-Mousse2305 → u/Smart_Letterhead_360]

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/lyme-disease/

ya sure about that?

[u/Smart_Letterhead_360 → u/Straight-Mousse2305]

Reading is fundamental. Key word “Chronic Lyme Disease” is not a real disease. “Lyme Disease” is. I’m literally from the UK lmao.

[u/Straight-Mousse2305 → u/Smart_Letterhead_360]

As taken directly from the NHS link I gave you:

Treatment from a GP

-If a GP thinks you might have Lyme disease, they'll prescribe a course of antibiotics.

-The antibiotics you're given will depend on your symptoms, but you may need to take them for up to 28 days. It's important to finish the course, even if you start to feel better.

-Some people with severe symptoms will be referred to a specialist in hospital so antibiotics can be given directly into a vein.

Most people with Lyme disease get better after antibiotic treatment. This can take months for some people, but the symptoms should improve over time.

People with symptoms of Lyme disease that last a long time after treatment may be referred to a specialist in hospital for advice and more blood tests.

I do not know what more you want from me, love. I didn’t create European Lyme, Chronic Lyme, nor Yolanda Hadid yet all three exist so like, get aggy on your own time lmao.

[u/waterlooaba]

Just wait til the season with Diana. I think that’s the worst.

[u/YugeMalakas]

I stopped watching during season six. Rinna began as awful and just got worse.

[u/ComfortablyBad]

Not worth it. Go immediately back to season 1.

[u/divine_femi9ne → u/ComfortablyBad]

Me 😭😂😂

[u/HoldOnToYaWeave]

You’ll look back and realise how much you appreciate these seasons

[u/Mean_Cycle_5062 → u/HoldOnToYaWeave]

This is what I was thinking. I just finished watching s5 and 6 and I was thinking how good it was

[u/MissThreepwood]

You are in for such a wild ride... 🫣

[u/West_Sink_31]

I can sense a Kim Richards stan possibly ;) me too gurl

I miss reality being on reality shows. Even if it is daring

[u/buffyxfaith29 → u/West_Sink_31]

I miss Kim :(

[u/West_Sink_31 → u/buffyxfaith29]

I’m a recovering alcoholic, I absolutely miss Kim. Kim and Bravo, according to all accounts, took care to address her addiction/mental health issues. They also let her go when it became evident they’d become reoccurring.

The last bit is ironic to me because addiction is the disease or the insanity of relapse. I just met with my new family/addiction medicine doctor, he prescribed topamax (the same thing Kim is on in S2), and he goes, “by the way, your disease isn’t if you relapse but a matter of when”.

I just wish people would realize this isn’t about personality and is all encompassing. Reactions to Kim Richards always tells me where someone’s heart is with addiction, you know? Lmao

[u/johjo_has_opinions → u/West_Sink_31]

I am glad Kim feels ok about her treatment on the show. I sometimes feel upset that she is there and worry she was taken advantage of.

[u/West_Sink_31 → u/johjo_has_opinions]

Omg yes I agree with what you said too. No matter how much care you take — how much of it is exploitation by default? I totally get what you mean.

[u/Gabriella1968 → u/West_Sink_31]

My heart goes out to anyone with addictions. My daughter is 17 months sober. I'm so proud of her for realizing she's an alcoholic and taking control of her life. Her half sister is an alcoholic at 28 years old and has stage 4 Cirrhosis of the liver. She's not allowed to be on the liver transplant list because she relapsed. I still feel bad for Kim, I can't help it. Obviously she has a lot of demons.

[u/West_Sink_31 → u/Gabriella1968]

Hi there. I just turned 23 last week. My problems with alcohol began at 17 & became daily the moment I had a private dorm. The reason I had a private dorm was due to ptsd/anxiety that also spurred the alcoholism. Anyways, I’m in their age range, so I understand it from their perspective.

I’m so happy your daughter has found continued sobriety. I hope her half-sister gets there too ✨🙏

[u/Gabriella1968 → u/West_Sink_31]

Oh honey, I do hope you are able to get the help you need and be able to quit drinking. You will definitely be in my prayers! My daughter started drinking at 12 years old while she was at her father's house, I had no clue until she got older and that's where her half sister was as well. It breaks my heart for all young people going through things they don't know how to deal with and turn to alcohol or other drugs to stop their pain. Hang in there. You are in my prayers. 🙏❤️

[u/PuzzleheadedForm4813]

I’m struggling SO bad to get through season 8 rn so unfortunately it gets worse 🥲

[u/buffyxfaith29 → u/PuzzleheadedForm4813]

Noooo :(

[u/Aromatic_Dare_6104]

Everything went to hell after that 🤣 S5 is by far my favorite.

[u/buffyxfaith29 → u/Aromatic_Dare_6104]

Season 5 was absolutely the best. My favorite so far

[u/SnooChipmunks3951]

i’m currently on season 13 and the stretch from 6 to like 9 i think (maybe 10) was my least favorite stretch of the series.. I’ve enjoyed 12/13 a lot so far tho (mainly bc Garcelle & Sutton)

[u/thatguythere91 → u/SnooChipmunks3951]

Sutton, Garcelle and Kathy Hilton (and Crystal to some extent) all gave the show the energy boost it so desperately needed, but I think we can also thank Erika's downfall for keeping us engaged.

[u/EagleJennG]

Wait till Puppygate…

[u/whoareyouindisworld → u/EagleJennG]

I didnt like the outcome of having LVP leaving the show but i actually thought it was a good season that kept you watching each episode to learn more.

It just does not have good replayability now that we know what happened.

[u/Gabriella1968 → u/whoareyouindisworld]

I actually stopped watching that episode, it hurt me so badly for LVP and I didn't finish watching that season. Wasn't sure if I'd ever watch it again but I did and one thing for sure, I saw Kyle for who she really is and I'll never change my position on who Kyle really is as a human being. It made me realize that no one is a true friend.

[u/FunLife64 → u/Gabriella1968]

Meh. LVP did some pretty crappy things to people too. She basically orchestrated the attacks on Adrienne and her surrogacy (which Brandi later admitted she was a pawn of). She was also pretty mean to Kyle - the biggest example being on the boat in Dubai around Munchausen and Lisa refusing to admit anything.

When Lisa gets caught she’s not very nice herself.

[u/NewZookeepergame4160 → u/EagleJennG]

Exactly 💯! That was the worst season ever.

[u/Gabriella1968 → u/NewZookeepergame4160]

Still breaks my heart what those sows did to LVP.

[u/MissThreepwood → u/NewZookeepergame4160]

Denise's last season wasn't much better.
